• Before setting new cutting discs make sure they are not
banged or damaged. If necessary, replace immediately.
• When working with the saw stand aside the disc, never in
front.
• Never remove accumulated sawdust or
shavings by hand. Use a brush.
• Turn off and disconnect the tool if
trying to liberate a stuck disc.
• Do not stop the rotating disc using a
piece of wood or the shaft lock. Allow the disc to freely
stop after shutting off the saw.
• Hold the saw by the insulated parts. In
the event of accidentally cutting the power cable shut off
and disconnect the tool. Otherwise, the metallic parts will
send and electric discharge to the user.
• Put away hands or any part of the
body from the cutting area and the cutting disc. When
operating the tool hold firmly the cutter head handle to
prevent loosing control and accidentally get injured.
• Accidental contact with a rotating cutting
disc may cause severe personal injury.
• Feed the material in a direction opposite to the disc
rotation.
• Do not try removing debris when the
disc is rotating.
• Keep in mind the guards do not protect
you underneath the work piece from the moving disc. Never
put your hand below the work piece when the tool is running.
• ALWAYS keep the power cable away
from the cutting area. When cutting, the power cable
should NEVER hang on top of the work piece.
• Double-check the disc has completely stopped before
replacing, fastening a work piece o changing the cutting
angle.
• Do not use the saw to cut ferrous metal, masonry or
concrete.
• Do not use worn, damaged or dull cutting discs.
• Do not use high-speed steel cutting discs.
• NEVER use a disc with a larger diameter than indicated
for this tool.
• Wear gloves when handling the cutting discs.
• Double-check frequently all screws and nuts are correctly
tight.
• Hold the disc correctly. Prevent from
contacting your body. Do not bend it or loose control of
the tool or the work piece.
• Double-check before each use the
retractable guard is working correctly. Should it not move
freely or close instantaneously, service before operating
the tool.
• Fix the saw in a perfectly level surface. There should be
enough space around it to handle and support correctly the
work piece.
• Circular-shaped work pieces should be fastened with
vices to prevent rotation.
• Before starting to saw verify the cutter head column and
the rotating table are blocked in the desired position.
• Inspect the work piece to verify it has no nails or screws.
• Double-check the disc is correctly fixed.

When operating the saw
The tool has a built-in laser beam to guide the cut. The
laser beam is class II with maximum power of 1mW and
650nm wavelength. It usually does not present and
optical risk, however, looking at the light directly may
cause momentary blindness.
• Avoid direct exposure to the eyes.
• Do not aim the laser light to anybody or any object
different from the work piece.
• Do not use the laser guide when cutting light-reflecting
materials. They can shine back to the user.
• See ANSI-Z136.1 STANDARDS FOR THE SAFE USE OF
LASER BEAMS, available in the Laser Institute of America
(407) 380-1553.
